Among other things, they will continue to study how diet and lifestyle, in addition to drug treatment for cardiovascular disease, affect the risk of developing dementia.

Knowing where the mRNA begins formation on the DNA strand is a significant part of understanding how genes are expressed.

These initiation sites contain regulatory elements and provide information to the cell about when and where to transcribe each gene to make protein, and how frequently to do so at any point in time.

It also provided information about the relative abundance of every mRNA copy, which gives clues as to how much a gene is expressed in different tissues and times.

"By making our data available there, we catalyze further research in understanding gene functions, regulatory mechanisms, gene networks and genetic variations associated with specific traits of interest. As we better understand how these alternative transcription sites affect particular traits, the hope is to see this lead to better soybean varieties."
